This is my Rajasthani dinner at a place called Chokhi Dhani, which is a little fake village with activities, food, and displays to teach visitors about the culture of Rajasthan, the largest state in the Republic of India. This photo was taken at the end of my meal and you'll notice that most of the food is still there. I try to be open-palated about food, but I was raised on meat and potatoes. I do like Americanized Mexican, Americanized Italian, and Americanized Thai food if that counts for anything.

I did eat a lot of bread and the dessert was awesome -- a crunchy thing covered in honey, maybe like elephant ears you find at fairs in the southern U.S. I never quite figured out what the white drink was -- the guy next to me kept telling me I'd love it because it's very "proteinous" but I didn't dare try it since I was told to only drink bottled water.

I also rode a camel at this place -- cost me 10 rupees, which is about 23 cents U.S. It was much less comfortable than I expected.
